The hinge or pivot can be made stifi? enough so that the deflector Will stay as set. When set directly above the plate, or in the middle position, the sides are open for the discharge of the spray, but when the sprayer is placed close to the walk or the like the deflector can be turned down adjacent to such walk, and so turn off the spray therefrom.
